Enjoyable, wonderfully gruesome
The contrast between the main protagonists McGrey and Frey is as curious as Holmes and Watson. One a stuffy Scotland Yard detective another a superstitious, grimy local senior police officer. Using music was a brilliant idea to tie the maccabre altogether. While it definitely feels like part of a series, it's still a good start.

Great characters
Hooked from the beginning
I thoroughly enjoyed this series. Although set in a future, one can see the headline issues of today wrapped up in a complicated film-noir private detective archetype. Something about hard-boiled crime and mystery supported by futuristic tech and commentary on the social elite really pulls me in.

Fantastic beginning to the memorable New 52 run of Batman. The introduction of the Court of Owls into the Batman mythos has not only provided the world's greatest detective with a new mystery to solve, but further expands the ever darkening legacy of Gotham City. One of my favorite Batman stories.
